Esperanto wouldn't mitigate laziness though - rather, it'd create yet more Euro-centrism to lingua francas. It's much easier for Europeans to learn than, say, the Chinese. As a synthetic language, it doesn't offer non-European people much until it's long established and widely-used. By which time, it'd probably have gone through pidgin, creole and patois forms, and then whole new languages spring, and you're back at square one. Cynical, I realise, but I don't hold any stock with Esperanto - might just as well get the UN to impose we all learn Mandarin.
